Superstition and Disease.— Dr. Robert Oleson of the revenue cutter "McCullock," which arrived in San Francisco November 5, gives the information that the natives of the Aleutian Islands are dying of tuberculosis; nearly forty per cent of them being afflicted with the disease; and he declares that this is largely due to the religious ceremonies which require them to press their lips against those of the dead. The strange thing is that professedly Christian religious services should require this. If Bible instruction were followed, nothing of this kind would take place. The spirit of the ceremonial laws which God gave to His people is directly against any such superstition as this. In fact, the best code of health laws in the world is that which the Lord gave to Israel.
